Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which types of vessels are required to have a pilot on board when
navigating in United Kingdom coastal waters.[20523]
Mr. Norris: Pilotage is compulsory only in the waters of statutory harbour authorities. Section 7 of the Pilotage Act 1987 provides
for such an authority to direct that pilotage shall be compulsory if it considers that, in the interests of safety, it should do so.
A pilotage direction may apply to all vessels over 20 m in length or to all ships of specified descriptions, and may relate to part
or all of the harbour. Section 8 provides for pilotage exemption certificates to be granted to suitably qualified masters and first
mates. There are three harbours where these are not available by virtue of an order under section 8 (3)-- Aberdeen, Forth and Sullom
Voe.
